That's right, I said Garlic Festival! Why? Well, this just might explain it¹... And despite all my protests over the last few months, I've ended up responsible for organizing it after all... I'd even found someone to delegate to! But unfortunately, peter the girl has had RL pounce upon her...

The site's been updated! Gilroy Garlic Festival

OK, so where can we stay?

Neugen has very kindly offered to let the meet attendees camp on her 2.5 acres in the beautiful redwoods of Carmel, California, 45 minutes from Gilroy For her address and phone number, email me⁴ at [email protected]⁵.

OK, for now, email Neugan instead, as I could be going temporarily offline any time now... [email protected]

So when, exactly?

Since the only people that have responded to my pleas of 'C'mon folks, I don't want to make a unilateral decision here, since I don't even know if I can be there!' agreed with my suggestion, we'll be at the Festival July 26. Neugan says anytime before then is fine with her, as far as when folks show up at her place.

¹As could the fact that it was Happy's idea, if you've not checked the link yet²Or in one case, foreseen except for the timing...³About time I added him...⁴Since my email's been a bit more reliable⁵You might want to email ASAP, as PaperBaby could come any time, and Tom won't be checking my email while I'm in the hospital...
